In this video, Principal Paddy Sandham shares how the clinical and therapeutic team works behind the scenes to support every aspect of a young person’s journey.

A skills-focused, therapeutic approach

The team informs the waking curriculum and the environment around each young person. We have a solution-focussed approach and concentrate on developing emotional self-regulation and resilience.

We focus on the development of personal, social, communication and living skills and deliver through an informed Individual Development Plan for each young person.
